Monty Python did a skit called ‘Novel Writing with Thomas Hardy,’ in which they projected the atmosphere of a sporting event on a day in the life of Thomas Hardy (author of Tess of the Dubervilles.’ Yes, I’m aware I probably spelled that wrong). At the end of the skit, they wind up extolling Hardy for writing cleanly, competently, with flowing phrases…

That’s been my life for the past week and a half. I’m not saying it’s brilliant, but it IS a consistent, good bit of work every single day. And it’s fun, once I get past the bother of actually sitting down to do it. I know it’s not much– I manage 250 words, or about a page a day. Not much at all, in comparison to real writers. But I’m excited nontheless.

Here’s hoping that I didn’t just jinx myself.
